Kroy Ryder (DipHe)

Openly Autistic, Dyslexic & ADHD

Hi, I'm kroy an openly Autistic, ADHD and Dyslexic counsellor. I celebrate neurodiversity and support the challenges faced by people with learning difficulties. This includes but is not limited to Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, and Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD). You may have a diagnosis, or you may just want to explore the possibility of being neurodivergent.

  • Bright lights or noises can seem overwhelming stressful or uncomfortable

  • Anxious or upset with unfamiliar situations

  • Thinking the same thing over and over

  • Hobbies seem like an obessesion

Being Autistic and having ADHD (AuDHD) myself benefits neurodiverse clients greatly as I understand the unique processing ways and needs of such clients and can tailor the sessions to suit your individual needs, (including sensory issues). I can also help with education facilities not applying reasonable adjustments. I offer suppor to parents of neurodiverse children as this can be challenging in different ways.

Introducing The Autistic Counsellor

Autism (ASD)

  • Autistic people may act in a different way to other people

    Autistic people may:

    find it hard to communicate and interact with other people
    find it hard to understand how other people think or feel
    find things like bright lights or loud noises overwhelming, stressful or uncomfortable
    get anxious or upset about unfamiliar situations and social events
    take longer to understand information
    do or think the same things over and over

Neurodiversity & O.C.D

  • Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a condition that affects people's behaviour. People with ADHD can seem restless, may have trouble concentrating and may act on impulse.

  • Dyslexia is a common learning difficulty that mainly causes problems with reading, writing and spelling.
    It's a specific learning difficulty, which means it causes problems with certain abilities used for learning, such as reading and writing.

  • Dyscalculia is a learning difficulty that affects the ability to use and acquire mathematical skills. For some, this might affect how they see numbers; others may find reading symbols difficult, or might find using finance and numbers in everyday life a challenge.

  • Tourette's syndrome is a condition that causes a person to make involuntary sounds and movements called tics.

    It usually starts during childhood, but the tics and other symptoms usually improve after several years and sometimes go away completely.

    There's no cure for Tourette's syndrome, but treatment can help manage symptoms.



  • Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition where a person has obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviours.

    OCD can affect men, women and children. People can start having symptoms from as early as 6 years old, but it often begins around puberty and early adulthood.

    OCD can be distressing and significantly interfere with your life, but treatment can help you keep it under control.
